Outputting error messages during completion is bad: they disrupt the
command line, can't be deleted, and the user is forced to Ctrl-C and
start over most of the time. We already silence stderr of many git
commands in our Bash completion script, but there are still some in
there that can spew error messages when something goes wrong.
We could add the missing stderr redirections to all the remaining
places, but instead let's leverage that git commands are now executed
through the previously introduced __git() wrapper function, and
redirect standard error to /dev/null only in that function. This way
we need only one redirection to take care of errors from almost all
git commands. Redirecting standard error of the __git() wrapper
function thus became redundant, remove them.
The exceptions, i.e. the repo-independent git executions and those in
the __gitdir() function that don't go through __git() already have
their standard error silenced.

Several completion functions contain the following pattern to run git
commands respecting the path to the repository specified on the
command line:
git --git-dir="$(__gitdir)" <cmd> <options>
This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell for the command
substitution and potentially fork()+exec()ing 'git rev-parse' inside
__gitdir().
Now, if neither '--gitdir=<path>' nor '-C <path>' options are
specified on the command line, then those git commands are perfectly
capable to discover the repository on their own. If either one or
both of those options are specified on the command line, then, again,
the git commands could discover the repository, if we pass them all of
those options from the command line.
This means we don't have to run __gitdir() at all for git commands and
can spare its fork()+exec() overhead.
Use Bash parameter expansions to check the $__git_dir variable and
$__git_C_args array and to assemble the appropriate '--git-dir=<path>'
and '-C <path>' options if either one or both are present on the
command line. These parameter expansions are, however, rather long,
so instead of changing all git executions and make already long lines
even longer, encapsulate running git with '--git-dir=<path> -C <path>'
options into the new __git() wrapper function. Furthermore, this
wrapper function will also enable us to silence error messages from
git commands uniformly in one place in a later commit.
There's one tricky case, though: in __git_refs() local refs are listed
with 'git for-each-ref', where "local" is not necessarily the
repository we are currently in, but it might mean a remote repository
in the filesystem (e.g. listing refs for 'git fetch /some/other/repo
<TAB>'). Use one-shot variable assignment to override $__git_dir with
the path of the repository where the refs should come from. Although
one-shot variable assignments in front of shell functions are to be
avoided in our scripts in general, in the Bash completion script we
can do that safely.

'git -C <path>' option(s) on the command line should be taken into
account during completion, because
- like '--git-dir=<path>', it can lead us to a different repository,
- a few git commands executed in the completion script do care about
in which directory they are executed, and
- the command for which we are providing completion might care about
in which directory it will be executed.
However, unlike '--git-dir=<path>', the '-C <path>' option can be
specified multiple times and their effect is cumulative, so we can't
just store a single '<path>' in a variable. Nor can we simply
concatenate a path from '-C <path1> -C <path2> ...', because e.g. (in
an arguably pathological corner case) a relative path might be
followed by an absolute path.
Instead, store all '-C <path>' options word by word in the
$__git_C_args array in the main git completion function, and pass this
array, if present, to 'git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir' when
discovering the repository in __gitdir(), and let it take care of
multiple options, relative paths, absolute paths and everything.
Also pass all '-C <path> options via the $__git_C_args array to those
git executions which require a worktree and for which it matters from
which directory they are executed from. There are only three such
cases:
- 'git diff-index' and 'git ls-files' in __git_ls_files_helper()
used for git-aware filename completion, and
- the 'git ls-tree' used for completing the 'ref:path' notation.
The other git commands executed in the completion script don't need
these '-C <path>' options, because __gitdir() already took those
options into account. It would not hurt them, either, but let's not
induce unnecessary code churn.

The main completion function finds the name of the git command by
iterating through all the words on the command line in search for the
first non-option-looking word. As it is not aware of 'git -C's
mandatory path argument, if the '-C <path>' option is present, 'path'
will be the first such word and it will be mistaken for a git command.
This breaks completion in various ways:
- If 'path' happens to match one of the commands supported by the
completion script, then options of that command will be offered.
- If 'path' doesn't match a supported command and doesn't contain any
characters not allowed in Bash identifier names, then the
completion script does basically nothing and Bash in turn falls
back to filename completion for all subsequent words.
- Otherwise, if 'path' does contain such an unallowed character, then
it leads to a more or less ugly error message in the middle of the
command line. The standard '/' directory separator is such a
character, and it happens to trigger one of the uglier errors:
$ git -C some/path <TAB>sh.exe": declare: `_git_some/path': not a valid identifier
error: invalid key: alias.some/path
Fix this by skipping 'git -C's mandatory path argument while iterating
over the words on the command line. Extend the relevant test with
this case and, while at it, with cases that needed similar treatment
in the past ('--git-dir', '-c', '--work-tree' and '--namespace').
Additionally, silence the standard error of the 'declare' builtins
looking for the completion function associated with the git command
and of the 'git config' query for the aliased command. So if git ever
learns a new option with a mandatory argument in the future, then,
though the completion script will again misbehave, at least the
command line will not be utterly disrupted by those error messages.

The main git options '--git-dir', '-c', '-C', '--worktree' and
'--namespace' require an argument, but attempting completion right
after them lists git commands.
Don't offer anything right after these options, thus let Bash fall
back to filename completion, because
- the three options '--git-dir', '-C' and '--worktree' do actually
require a path argument, and
- we don't complete the required argument of '-c' and '--namespace',
and in that case the "standard" behavior of our completion script
is to not offer anything, but fall back to filename completion.

e832f5c096 (completion: avoid ls-remote in certain scenarios,
2013-05-28) turned a 'git ls-remote <remote>' query into a 'git
for-each-ref refs/remotes/<remote>/' to improve responsiveness of
remote refs completion by avoiding potential network communication.
However, it inadvertently made impossible to complete short refs from
a remote given as a URL, e.g. 'git fetch git://server.com/repo.git
<TAB>', because there is, of course, no such thing as
'refs/remotes/git://server.com/repo.git'.
Since the previous commit we tell apart configured remotes, i.e. those
that can have a hierarchy under 'refs/remotes/', from others that
don't, including remotes given as URL, so we know when we can't use
the faster 'git for-each-ref'-based approach.
Resurrect the old, pre-e832f5c09680 'git ls-remote'-based code for the
latter case to support listing short refs from remotes given as a URL.
The code is slightly updated from the original to
- take into account the path to the repository given on the command
line (if any), and
- omit 'ORIG_HEAD' from the query, as 'git ls-remote' will never
list it anyway.
When the remote given to __git_refs() doesn't exist, then it will be
handled by this resurrected 'git ls-remote' query. This code path
doesn't list 'HEAD' unconditionally, which has the nice side effect of
fixing two more expected test failures.

If the remote given to __git_refs() happens to match both the name of
a configured remote and the name of a directory in the current working
directory, then that directory is assumed to be a git repository, and
listing refs from that directory will be attempted. This is wrong,
because in such a situation git commands (e.g. 'git fetch|pull|push
<remote>' whom these refs will eventually be passed to) give
precedence to the configured remote. Therefore, __git_refs() should
list refs from the configured remote as well.
Add the helper function __git_is_configured_remote() that checks
whether its argument matches the name of a configured remote. Use
this helper to decide how to handle the remote passed to __git_refs().

In __git_refs() the git commands listing refs, both short and full,
from a given remote repository are run without giving them the path to
the git repository which might have been specified on the command line
via 'git --git-dir=<path>'. This is bad, those git commands should
access the 'refs/remotes/<remote>/' hierarchy or the remote and
credentials configuration in that specified repository.
Use the __gitdir() helper only to find the path to the .git directory
and pass the resulting path to the 'git ls-remote' and 'for-each-ref'
executions that list remote refs. While modifying that 'for-each-ref'
line, remove the superfluous disambiguating doubledash.
Don't use __gitdir() to check that the given remote is on the file
system: basically it performs only a single if statement for us at the
considerable cost of fork()ing a subshell for a command substitution.
We are better off to perform all the necessary checks of the remote in
__git_refs().
Though __git_refs() was the last remaining callsite that passed a
remote to __gitdir(), don't delete __gitdir()'s remote-handling part
yet, just in case some users' custom completion scriptlets depend on
it.

were a real existing repository, making some completion functions

There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and
move on to do something else but you forget to do "git rebase --abort"
first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.
Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent
that is "git cherry-pick --quit".
